Like if they're actually trying to use their patents to sue this game...what's stopping any other company doing the exact same thing to them and to other companies they are competing with. It's gonna get to the point where the standard genre tropes are suddenly gonna be grounds for a lawsuit if you use them.
I hope a patent war will break out in which every studio , who now realize Nintendo can't be trust with the current honorary system , start to patent any basic game mechanic that Nintendo haven't patented and use it to sue each other who happen to have something that is similar.

Basically Nintendo is suing Palworld inorder to get rid of their competition by any means necessary which is very malicious of Nintendo to do considering that this court case seems sus to me, what else does Nintendo gain from suing the developers of Palworld? Let's just be honest Nintendo is more afraid of losing to an actual competitor that is actually making people choose Xbox and PC and possibly very soon PlayStation over Nintendo because people have been asking for a more mature version of Pokemon but obviously they didn't do it so a competitor actually Rises to fill in that Gap, but then Nintendo pretty much goes overboard and decides no we're not going to have competition let's sue them so we can get rid of our competition to shut down the game and force those 23 million players to play Pokemon instead. Let's just be honest Nintendo pretty much doesn't want competition at all when it comes to Pokemon so yeah it seems kind of sus when you see what the lawsuit is actually about and to be honest it seems ridiculous and at the same time very suspicious indeed on why Nintendo is suing.
I think Nintendo is doing this because this is easier than trying to make better games.

Maybe the plan on losing the battle but winning the war. I mean they could bankrupt the with legal fees in court with lawyers and extending the court time.
This is true, whenever one of my pals got sick Id always stop what I was doing to make medicine for them, even if I was out exploring, because I didnt want my cute monsters to be depressed.
What a divine force of retribution that would be. Given both companies have skin in the game, it might be a great opportunity for them to get some dirt on Nintendo. Maybe Ubisoft should join in since their tower navigation game mechanic was copied from Assasins Creed to Breath of the Wild.
They know they cannot do that. Pocketpair is a relatively small indie company that has become nintendo's competition. And nintendo don't like that, so they're basically maliciously filing a lawsuit in hopes to get rid of the competition. I damn well hope nintendo fails.
@@zappli45 Sadly Nintendo wins either way. Either Pocket Pair fights and goes bankrupt, or they settle. Nintendo gets money and intimidates smaller companies from coming up with even a remotely similar concept.
fun fact. the developer put out a game called craftopia that used the same exact mechanic. game was released in 2020. a year before nintendo filed any patents.
Yes but you don't throw a sphere shaped object in Craftopia. Its diamond shaped and in palworld they behave identically to pokeballs, which was the point. I have always been against Nintendo's penchant for excessive lawsuits, but no matter how I see it, Nintendo may be in the right on this one.
@@Xparkman30 the better example would have been they better not make another Mario Baseball/Wii Sports game or the MLB would be mad. Which is still a stupid analogy.

I hope Nitendo loses!!!! I really do, because it will set a very dangerous precedent in the industry. Imagine someone patenting the mechanic where you hit a character in a game and the damage is displayed as a number, it would be crazy!!! This is so wrong!!!
@@erMKSA they won't win palworld game mechanics came from craftopia that was out in 2020 way before pokemon did their own open world game mechanics that was out in 2022. This lawsuit won't go in their favor. @erMKSA
Everyone seems to be getting caught up on it being a sphere or ball. If you read the patent it doesn't mention this all it says is an item. So it wouldn't matter if it was a ball, a cube or even a net.
Yeah. Considering how many pet monster games are out there now that use something similar, like Coromon, this would be damaging to the genre as a whole. Not to mention how this could extend to other genres like Zelda-likes and various Mario inspired platformers.
While Nintendo can play benevolent by giving the many lesser Games who treat on their turf the benefit, whilst under them do not flourish as much as they could. Appearing benign when what they do comes from a monopolistic corporate malicious stance. They also took shamelessly over the Artstyle of Yokai Watch for their Pokemon Anime, just to stay relevant even ahead of the curve. Taking in Yokai Watch as one of their supported Games, to once again, appear as a benign force that gently forces the Boot on the rivaling franchise so it can't grow or thrive. They couldn't get Pocketpair to side with them, once they realized what it became, which in turn infuriates them. They lost control, hence looking to the lawsuit options for so long; as in court and japan they are favored always showing their gold side only. Except us in the West saw often enough the brown Chocolate (you know what i mean) beneath the Wrapper of gold. Yet they are big players in Japan, the biggest, with many favorites played to for it.
Nintendo needs to stop wasting money by suing game companies or eventually they'll lose all their customers by not having enough money to keep making games. Then watch eventually they make a game so similar to Pal world. If that ever happens then I'll probably stop supporting Nintendo.
This is why I stopped supporting Nintendo Years ago. They should not even have made this patent. Notice this was patent was submitted in 2023. After they new about Palworld. Can you patent something that someone else already has developed?
I believe the patent was submitted in Japan in 2021, while in America it was 2023. And I believe this was specifically for when Legends Arceus was coming out(I could be wrong). Now, the reason the 2021 date is important(if I’m not wrong) is because the lawsuit was filed in Japan, not the US. Either way, it’s a messy situation. I’ll be honest, this is just my opinion, but Pocketpair knew what they were doing with this game, not even trying to hide their “inspiration”however, if they would have used any other shape other than a spherical ball, there would be no lawsuit.
@@TheIssac1070 Thanks for the clarification. I just think that it is so scummy that nintendo has these patents. I know some other game companies do the same. Should not be able to patent game mechanics.
I gave up on Nintendo the moment they tried putting a digital tollbooth on our own internet. They're just lazy now. It's just that they have so much money and fame to be able to continue to.
Nintendo needs to lose. I don’t get why game mechanics need to be patented. Not only does it stifle creativity, it alone is whats preventing the game industry from being any better.
Perhaps if Nintendo made a good Pokémon game and stopped regurgitating the same rubbish, then there would have not been a market for a new "Catch a monster" game in the first place.
@@VampireGUK also what logic is that PlayStation and Xbox players can't play Pokemon so they would want something of that genre anyway regardless of pokemon
@@lightdarksoul2097 Sorry my logic is, that the last few Pokemon have been a bit rubbish and samey in my view. I appreciate there is a massive market for Xbox, PS and PC for a Pokemon type game and Palworld has filled that void. However the platform that they do pokemon on ie the switch, they are lacking any real innovation, I love the fact Palworld has filled a space for other platforms, but Nintendo Pokemon games currently are lacking and I think Palworld has obviously made them worry.
I don't think Nintendo wants to sue PocketPair for fairness or anything like that; they just want to bankrupt PocketPair until they're out of money and the company shuts down or can't recover. This is a dirty business tactic used by many billion dollar companies, especially in Japan. Furthermore, if you're wondering why Nintendo didn't sue over the Pal designs, it's because even if they won, they couldn't kill off Palworld. At most, they would just change the Pal models. But this time, Nintendo is targeting the game's mechanics, which can't be easily changed, what a scummy
This certainly would set a dangerous precedent if Nintendo were to win really seems like they know they can’t win on copyright grounds so they are going this patent infringement route. Scummy if you ask me.
Nintendo won't go for company's that ain't competition since both pokemon and dragon quest are both on Nintendo platform games even though there made by different companies which is also why there aiming at palworld right now since its on a completely different platform that rivals Nintendo
I find patent suing for a game mechanic is a scummy law practice. It's like making a mine field and hope someone trigger even if they didn't even mean to. I hope Nintendo will lose more than they can get from this law suit.
@@lightdarksoul2097 slimes arent the only monsters in dragonquest and you can find the monsters theyre referring to with an easy google search. Go look.
If Nintendo does this, maybe Ubisoft should sue the hell out of Nintendo for using their Assassins Creed tower navigation game mechanic in Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. It's only fair if this precedent is set.
It would be additionally funny, because I think a general opinion in Japan is that Nintendo is in the right in regards to Nintendo vs Palworld. But I also think that Japan generally dislikes Ubisoft right now. To see Ubisoft sueing Nintendo for patents, and see how the Japanese would react to that would be very entertaining. Overall, from what I have gathered from most Japanese on the internet atleast. The reason they are on Nintendos side is because Nintendo had a right to sue, and because they believe Palworld disrespected Nintendo by trying to make their IP bigger. Also Palworld's CEO allegedly called Nintendo switch bad hardware, so Pocket Pair is hated as a result. I do wonder if they would argue for or against Ubisoft sueing Nintendo. I don't think Ubisoft has a patent on the tower thing? Not entirely sure, but it would both be horrifying and funny to see Nintendo's current lawsuit set precedent for alle lawsuits going forward. We may lose our favorite hobby which is gaming, but we'll be getting a couple of years worth of entertainment in terms of lawsuits.
In which Atari game can you jump? I'm not asking to refute you haha Ironically the first game I know where you can jump is Donkey Kong haha that's why I ask, I got curious
Unfortunately I do think Nintendo has enough of a case to bury them in legal fees or at least make them so miserable they give in. The gamer in me hopes they can survive this though because we need far more just straight up FUN games like this. Their overnight success proves that.
it took 28 years to patent an animal going into a ball? it took 28 years to patent a ball being thrown with an animal coming out of a ball? it took 28 years to patent animals fighting other animals in a video game? this is so ridiculous. Edit coming up on 3 decades in 2 years...
Nintendo is gonna get a lot of hate for being so petty, they're just mad because they didn't create Pokeworld first. And there were other similar games like Digimon...
The friendly, smiling face of Myamoto, as he stands knee deep in scumbaggery. Nintendo has been involved in so many lawsuits, eventually they have to lose, i hope this will be the time.
Nintendo waited till 2021 to put in the pattern request. The first Pokémon game came out in 1996. They should have tried to pattern it back then if it mattered that much. Hopefully Pocket Pair, Inc can use the fact they waited so long as a defence. Plus Nintendo should not have been able to Patten it cause of such a long delay from when it was first used. Time of it just seems so dirty and is showing Nintendo in a bad light to me.
The fact Nintendo thinks capturing monsters with a pokeball is new says allot about how dumb that company has got. A pokeball is no different than using a trap on a creature. If Nintendo actually spent time trying to make a good pokemon game they wouldn't be loosing out to somebody who does it better than them.
You know in Japan there's people who dont like Nintendo also dislike how Palworld reacts to the lawsuit right? Most ytber never report how Palworld reacts to the lawsuit and be on their side when all they do is try to play victim on twitter. Which doesn't go well with Japanese gamers.
Pocketpair can win by bringing examples of nintendo not sueing other game devs that use the same system. I certainly hope they do win because patents like these stifle game innovation and make the industry worse. People already hate AAA game dev companies, and this just makes folks hate them more.
It doesn't help Nintendo that they're effectively suing Pocketpair retroactively, considering Craftopia existed before the filing of the patent. However, Nintendo lawyers are notorious, and Japan is Japan.
@@ShinAk1raSama Yep you're right. Would the judge tribunal know of pocketpair? Probably not. Would they know of nintendo? Almost certainly. That's all it'd likely come down to in the end.
You want Nintendo to lose? Make a Huge Public Post calling out Nintendo and Calling for Everyone to Boycott all Nintendo Products. Make them Hurt in their Wallets. This Message can also be for Every Other Company and Industry too.
Sony and XBox are backing the developers of Palworld, so I doubt Nintendo's winning so easily. And, win or lose, this paints a VERY big target on Nintendo's back. some people are saying Bandai might be FIRST to try and sue them and steal some patents BACK.
Interestingly the patents they say are infringed were not registered until months after Palworld was released , which should in itself be unlawful , on a game that the world knew about years ago
It is never ok to steal. Just because the higher ups of a company is garbage doesn't make actions that you do that negatively impact the actual workers. People who talk about things like this as an excuse to be a thief are just using it to justify their deplorable activities. Two wrongs doesn't make a right.
Palworld is more similar to Ark than Pokémon... The pokeball thing is funny, pretty sure square has a game where they capture monsters with cubes. There are many games where they capture creatures with throwable traps. It's basically prior art at this point
Nintendo is so blinded by its own ego that it can’t see the obvious pr damage this lawsuit will do to them. There is absolutely zero scenario where they are the good guy in this situation. All these companies are so obsessed with business that they forgot what gets them money in the first place.
@@ausgod538 You can only con someone so long before they stop falling for your BS. It's not so easy to hide their BS these days like it was decades ago. Regardless of your opinion or mine, this is not going to go well for Nintendo regardless of whether they win or lose that is fact, there are people willing to stop buying their products over this and that is bad for business if you are a Business like they are. And like you said, the Internet isn't the world, there are dozens of millions of people that keep their opinions to themselves. There will be a time where this lawsuit comes back to bite them in the ass.
I hope this is the first L they get this is ridiculous. Secondly change the Balls to discs or a laser leash that reels them into a trap. God this is beyond petty and Nintendo is feeling the heat I bet.
Where the hell was all this bluster when TemTem was coming up? What? TemTem wasn't successful enough for you to care? Is Game Freak crying about the possibility that they might have to innovate so Daddy Nintendo is sending their army of lawyers? 😂
Yeah, that's pretty much it. They would rather use money to bribe lawyers than make a genuinely good game utilizing the most successful and lucrative entertainment IP in history, lol. Absolutely lazy and deplorable company.
@@zeng58 They have the patents, very good lawyers, and took the time to review everything before pursuing it. If they weren't certain they would win, they wouldn't have filed it.
All indie games where you capture and/or tame monsters should leave Nintendo platforms because this means that if you're successful enough, Nintendo will take you down.
Square Enix patented the leveling system, specifically to stop Patent Trolls from swooping it up. If they hadn't, Nintendo would be suing Pocket Pair for having leveling.
@@ivanklaric5341 that's what I'm curious about because together they made palworld entertainment. Which they either back pocketpair or back away from something they helped create being palworld entertainment.
@@ivanklaric5341don’t forget, Sony just lost 400M cause of concord. If they are gonna bet on Palworld and fight against Nintendo, they gonna need to believe Palworld is worth it. Worst case scenario, Nintendo would also lose another competitor in the console battle.
Given how most of the patents that Nintendo are (probably) sueing for were only APPLIED for AFTER Palworld’s release, Pocket pair has a decent defense that some of Nintendo’s claims may be illegitimate, unless they are spontaneously granted before any hearings start
A key part with the Shadow of Mordor Nemesis system is it was patented before the game came out I believe. Pokemon is trying to patent mechanics decades after they came out, and strangely depending on which patent is being sued over months after Palworld was released. Retroactively trying to sue for Patents over long existing mechanics seems wrong. But as the video mentioned, this is only in Japan right now and they heavily favor Nintendo. It would be like trying to get a ruling against Amazon in the US.
“Pokémon with guns”. I think this is the root of the problem. What if Nintendo views this as damaging to their IP? Pokémon is realistically made for everyone, and maybe the violent aspect, forcing pals to servitude / hard labor… I dunno man. Until we really know what Nintendo is thinking, I can’t realistically judge for them or PalWorld devs.
Destin you should have had a chat with someone with Patent law knowledge because I don't think you're knowledgeable enough like saying stuff like " no one can use this idea forever etc " man patents are not forever. Patents generally have a limited duration, and after that period, the invention enters the public domain, meaning anyone can use it without permission from the patent holder.
Stfu 20 years is too much is more than two generation it takes forever not to mention it was public domain at first you didn't made anything out of the thin air you probably got inspired by real life and implemented in game
Fight to protect your property know matter what... Nintendo had to pay for a patent used during the 3ds wiiu Era! Why patent something if you're not going to protect it?
Nintendo can grow the fuck up. They have been around for generations and inspired creativity in generations. Lifelong nintendo fans have often begged nintendo to make several expansions on worlds and games that we grew up loving, nintendo has failed or just refused. Now that fans are making the games we want to see, nintendo has begun to attack the creativity they inspired in their own fans. Now i question all of my creativity and wonder if i should even continue the creativity that i enjoy. Nintendo can grow up and help nurture the creator that nintendo inspired
This is just a rumor but apparently Nintendo file a pattern about monster catching using balls mechanic explicitly to sue Palworld. I really hope they lose in this case if this is true.
This just shouldn’t be a thing like couldn’t any billion dollar company just say I created this mechanic no one else is able to use it I think we should pirate all Nintendo games
This is a pathetic move from Nintendo. There pissed because there pokemon games are shit lately and Pocketpair made a game that is going to take away for the next crap pokemon game being released and it will flop!! Nintendo has always been a bully like this and really need to be humbled!
If that's the case Capcom wouldn't allow any other fighting game than their own. Also there were some that tried that shit and didn't work in the past. Nintendo DID lost minor cases and swept them under the rag, and more than likely Nintendo try to bleed them money before getting even bigger but Sony stepped in. Nintendo also fked up with their attitude towards the consumers driving them to unsavoury tactics to play their games. They're pretty much digging their own grave little by little

i would PAY to see that
Considering Sony and Microsoft both back pocketpair that may happen
I am keeping a close eye in hopes this happens.
What a divine force of retribution that would be. Given both companies have skin in the game, it might be a great opportunity for them to get some dirt on Nintendo. Maybe Ubisoft should join in since their tower navigation game mechanic was copied from Assasins Creed to Breath of the Wild.
@@bryanmerel that’s a PPV event right there.
Why do i have a feeling that Nintendo will sue the entire gaming industry just by their mere existence.
They would lose the ability to breathe.
If they do, prepare to face many many counter sue.
They know they cannot do that.
Pocketpair is a relatively small indie company that has become nintendo's competition.
And nintendo don't like that, so they're basically maliciously filing a lawsuit in hopes to get rid of the competition.
I damn well hope nintendo fails.
@@zappli45 Sadly Nintendo wins either way. Either Pocket Pair fights and goes bankrupt, or they settle. Nintendo gets money and intimidates smaller companies from coming up with even a remotely similar concept.
@@sarahsturgill9262 that would highly depend on the lawyers and importantly, the judge.
fun fact. the developer put out a game called craftopia that used the same exact mechanic. game was released in 2020. a year before nintendo filed any patents.
Yes but you don't throw a sphere shaped object in Craftopia. Its diamond shaped and in palworld they behave identically to pokeballs, which was the point. I have always been against Nintendo's penchant for excessive lawsuits, but no matter how I see it, Nintendo may be in the right on this one.
@@Ventus777777I guess baseball better stop throwing sphere shaped objects as a main part of their sport, otherwise Nintendo might get mad.

@@outlawstar2090 Hopefully, because these laws sometimes don't make any sense.
I agree, Pokèmon should be ashamed of themselves on bullying other monster franchises.
Everyone seems to be getting caught up on it being a sphere or ball. If you read the patent it doesn't mention this all it says is an item. So it wouldn't matter if it was a ball, a cube or even a net.
Yeah. Considering how many pet monster games are out there now that use something similar, like Coromon, this would be damaging to the genre as a whole. Not to mention how this could extend to other genres like Zelda-likes and various Mario inspired platformers.
While Nintendo can play benevolent by giving the many lesser Games who treat on their turf the benefit, whilst under them do not flourish as much as they could. Appearing benign when what they do comes from a monopolistic corporate malicious stance. They also took shamelessly over the Artstyle of Yokai Watch for their Pokemon Anime, just to stay relevant even ahead of the curve. Taking in Yokai Watch as one of their supported Games, to once again, appear as a benign force that gently forces the Boot on the rivaling franchise so it can't grow or thrive.
They couldn't get Pocketpair to side with them, once they realized what it became, which in turn infuriates them. They lost control, hence looking to the lawsuit options for so long; as in court and japan they are favored always showing their gold side only. Except us in the West saw often enough the brown Chocolate (you know what i mean) beneath the Wrapper of gold. Yet they are big players in Japan, the biggest, with many favorites played to for it.
Nintendo needs to stop wasting money by suing game companies or eventually they'll lose all their customers by not having enough money to keep making games. Then watch eventually they make a game so similar to Pal world. If that ever happens then I'll probably stop supporting Nintendo.
I will patent character putting one leg in front of the other to walk and sue anyone who dare infringe this

This is why I stopped supporting Nintendo Years ago. They should not even have made this patent. Notice this was patent was submitted in 2023. After they new about Palworld. Can you patent something that someone else already has developed?
I believe the patent was submitted in Japan in 2021, while in America it was 2023. And I believe this was specifically for when Legends Arceus was coming out(I could be wrong). Now, the reason the 2021 date is important(if I’m not wrong) is because the lawsuit was filed in Japan, not the US. Either way, it’s a messy situation. I’ll be honest, this is just my opinion, but Pocketpair knew what they were doing with this game, not even trying to hide their “inspiration”however, if they would have used any other shape other than a spherical ball, there would be no lawsuit.
@@TheIssac1070PalWorld was revealed back in 2020 as a teaser trailer with game mechanic footage already.
@@TheIssac1070 Thanks for the clarification. I just think that it is so scummy that nintendo has these patents. I know some other game companies do the same. Should not be able to patent game mechanics.

They're just lazy now. It's just that they have so much money and fame to be able to continue to.
Nintendo needs to lose. I don’t get why game mechanics need to be patented. Not only does it stifle creativity, it alone is whats preventing the game industry from being any better.
Change the ball to a cube
Nah, don’t think that’s what they’re suing for. It’s the principle of throwing an object at a creature to catch it.
I no longer will support anything Nintendo
I hope people start to boycott Nintendo. Bullies should not be rewarded.
Perhaps if Nintendo made a good Pokémon game and stopped regurgitating the same rubbish, then there would have not been a market for a new "Catch a monster" game in the first place.
It isn't even on the same system it isn't the same market
not true lol
@@VampireGUK also what logic is that PlayStation and Xbox players can't play Pokemon so they would want something of that genre anyway regardless of pokemon
They already made good ones even ZA is gonna be awesome
@@lightdarksoul2097 Sorry my logic is, that the last few Pokemon have been a bit rubbish and samey in my view. I appreciate there is a massive market for Xbox, PS and PC for a Pokemon type game and Palworld has filled that void. However the platform that they do pokemon on ie the switch, they are lacking any real innovation, I love the fact Palworld has filled a space for other platforms, but Nintendo Pokemon games currently are lacking and I think Palworld has obviously made them worry.
I don't think Nintendo wants to sue PocketPair for fairness or anything like that; they just want to bankrupt PocketPair until they're out of money and the company shuts down or can't recover. This is a dirty business tactic used by many billion dollar companies, especially in Japan. Furthermore, if you're wondering why Nintendo didn't sue over the Pal designs, it's because even if they won, they couldn't kill off Palworld. At most, they would just change the Pal models. But this time, Nintendo is targeting the game's mechanics, which can't be easily changed, what a scummy
This certainly would set a dangerous precedent if Nintendo were to win really seems like they know they can’t win on copyright grounds so they are going this patent infringement route. Scummy if you ask me.
Nintendo stole the Pokémon idea from Dragon Quest. I guess Dragod Quest didn't have the money to sue Nintendo, or they just didn't care.
Nintendo won't go for company's that ain't competition since both pokemon and dragon quest are both on Nintendo platform games even though there made by different companies which is also why there aiming at palworld right now since its on a completely different platform that rivals Nintendo
Little guy is doing well and the big guy is being a dick about it.
I find patent suing for a game mechanic is a scummy law practice.
It's like making a mine field and hope someone trigger even if they didn't even mean to.

If Nintendo does this, maybe Ubisoft should sue the hell out of Nintendo for using their Assassins Creed tower navigation game mechanic in Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. It's only fair if this precedent is set.
It would be additionally funny, because I think a general opinion in Japan is that Nintendo is in the right in regards to Nintendo vs Palworld. But I also think that Japan generally dislikes Ubisoft right now. To see Ubisoft sueing Nintendo for patents, and see how the Japanese would react to that would be very entertaining.
Overall, from what I have gathered from most Japanese on the internet atleast. The reason they are on Nintendos side is because Nintendo had a right to sue, and because they believe Palworld disrespected Nintendo by trying to make their IP bigger. Also Palworld's CEO allegedly called Nintendo switch bad hardware, so Pocket Pair is hated as a result.
I do wonder if they would argue for or against Ubisoft sueing Nintendo. I don't think Ubisoft has a patent on the tower thing? Not entirely sure, but it would both be horrifying and funny to see Nintendo's current lawsuit set precedent for alle lawsuits going forward. We may lose our favorite hobby which is gaming, but we'll be getting a couple of years worth of entertainment in terms of lawsuits.

The friendly, smiling face of Myamoto, as he stands knee deep in scumbaggery.
Nintendo has been involved in so many lawsuits, eventually they have to lose, i hope this will be the time.
Nintendo waited till 2021 to put in the pattern request. The first Pokémon game came out in 1996. They should have tried to pattern it back then if it mattered that much. Hopefully Pocket Pair, Inc can use the fact they waited so long as a defence. Plus Nintendo should not have been able to Patten it cause of such a long delay from when it was first used. Time of it just seems so dirty and is showing Nintendo in a bad light to me.
The fact Nintendo thinks capturing monsters with a pokeball is new says allot about how dumb that company has got. A pokeball is no different than using a trap on a creature. If Nintendo actually spent time trying to make a good pokemon game they wouldn't be loosing out to somebody who does it better than them.
Losing out? They have more sales and at a higher price
Ok I like palworld more I need to fish the achievements before it happens

I certainly hope they do win because patents like these stifle game innovation and make the industry worse. People already hate AAA game dev companies, and this just makes folks hate them more.

Ps palworld is on the ps5 now
Given how most of the patents that Nintendo are (probably) sueing for were only APPLIED for AFTER Palworld’s release, Pocket pair has a decent defense that some of Nintendo’s claims may be illegitimate, unless they are spontaneously granted before any hearings start
I am pretty sure Nintendo has loss a lawsuit they started they just don't lose often.
A key part with the Shadow of Mordor Nemesis system is it was patented before the game came out I believe. Pokemon is trying to patent mechanics decades after they came out, and strangely depending on which patent is being sued over months after Palworld was released. Retroactively trying to sue for Patents over long existing mechanics seems wrong. But as the video mentioned, this is only in Japan right now and they heavily favor Nintendo. It would be like trying to get a ruling against Amazon in the US.
“Pokémon with guns”. I think this is the root of the problem. What if Nintendo views this as damaging to their IP? Pokémon is realistically made for everyone, and maybe the violent aspect, forcing pals to servitude / hard labor… I dunno man. Until we really know what Nintendo is thinking, I can’t realistically judge for them or PalWorld devs.
Destin you should have had a chat with someone with Patent law knowledge because I don't think you're knowledgeable enough like saying stuff like " no one can use this idea forever etc " man patents are not forever. Patents generally have a limited duration, and after that period, the invention enters the public domain, meaning anyone can use it without permission from the patent holder.

Lifelong nintendo fans have often begged nintendo to make several expansions on worlds and games that we grew up loving, nintendo has failed or just refused. Now that fans are making the games we want to see, nintendo has begun to attack the creativity they inspired in their own fans.

This is just a rumor but apparently Nintendo file a pattern about monster catching using balls mechanic explicitly to sue Palworld. I really hope they lose in this case if this is true.
why would that kind of patent even be allowed in the first place? 20 years is ridiculous, how about like 2, maybe
This just shouldn’t be a thing like couldn’t any billion dollar company just say I created this mechanic no one else is able to use it I think we should pirate all Nintendo games
This is a pathetic move from Nintendo. There pissed because there pokemon games are shit lately and Pocketpair made a game that is going to take away for the next crap pokemon game being released and it will flop!! Nintendo has always been a bully like this and really need to be humbled!
funny thing is i bought palworld the day before the lawsuit was announced.
If that's the case Capcom wouldn't allow any other fighting game than their own. Also there were some that tried that shit and didn't work in the past. Nintendo DID lost minor cases and swept them under the rag, and more than likely Nintendo try to bleed them money before getting even bigger but Sony stepped in.
Nintendo also fked up with their attitude towards the consumers driving them to unsavoury tactics to play their games. They're pretty much digging their own grave little by little
The Nemesis system being patented is stupid and shouldn't be allowed.
